Help[Surname] Haversham?
Anyone know where it's from? Heard it somewhere, maybe it was made up.
And these children that you spit on,
As they try to change their worlds,
Are immune to your consultations,
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through.
~Changes, David Bowie

Some of it's magic,
Some of it's tragic,
But I had a good life all the way.

Haversham is the name of a village in Buckinghamshire, England.
From wikipedia:
"The village name is an Old English word that means 'Haefer's homestead'. In the Domesday Book of 1086, when it belonged to the Peverell family, it was listed as Havresham.[2]"

If there's any use as a surname, it would probably come from the place name.
Of course, there's Miss Havisham, the character in Dickens' "Great Expectations".
